Arizona-Arizona State

Interesting Thursday night game featuring two future divisional opponents. Arizona is on a slide while Arizona State is fighting for a bowl bid (would need a waiver). Plus it is an in-state rivalry game.

ASU has actually not played that badly this year. They lost at Wisconsin on a blocked extra point, but on a just earlier drive were completely jobbed on a no-call in the end zone when a WR was wrapped up ostentatiously before the ball got there, and they have a good PK. They led Stanford late in the game before losing when the Cardinal scored last. And USC is a bit down, but only won by one. They hung in with Oregon, losing by 11 but did get crushed by Cal. Not a great season, but the team has shown it can play with some good teams.

They also got jobbed by San Jose St, who would have been their 6th FBS win, but dropped ASU who had to schedule a 2nd FCS team.
